Show Notes
I’m taking you behind the scenes of ProductLed’s wild 8-year ride. From our embarrassing original name (“Traffic is Currency” - yikes) to helping 400+ companies generate $1B in self-serve revenue, it’s been anything but linear. I share the honest truth about riding the pandemic capital wave, the year I was completely lost, and how accidentally discovering our implementation program changed everything.
Key Takeaways:

[00:05:03] I was making $33K/month but was miserable
[00:09:44] Writing my book in a 6-month sprint
[00:13:23] How COVID forced us to pivot from workshops to cohorts
[00:20:07] The accidental discovery that transformed our business model
